Hey folks, some members have asked me how to post pics here so this post should tell you how. First, go to www.photobucket.com and make an account. It is free. Then you just upload whatever pictures you want into your photobucket account. You can load them from your computer or any pictures online that you want. You will then get a link from them, which you put in your post here and use the little icon of the picture above on it, which makes your picture show up.
Let me give you a step by step example.
- I went to google.com and typed in "glock 36", which is a compact pistol I am considering buying.
- I then clicked on "images" on google to just seem all the images that would pop up from my search.
- I liked the 3rd image over, so I clicked it.
- Then I clicked on "see full size image" to make the bigger picture of it pop up.
- Then I right clicked the picture and selected "save image location".
- Then I went to photobucket.com and logged in.
- Then I clicked on "add image from URL" there.
- Then I pasted (Control + V button) the URL into the space next to "Image URL" and hit "select".
- After that it said "photo successfully loaded" and I went down to the photo and copied (Control + C button). For example, what I got was this link;
i44.photobucket.com/albums/f37/vincentfields/G36.jpg
- Then I just come here to make a post, post that link, highlight it, and then select the picture icon above. Then the picture will show up like this;
Now you don't have to go through the whole photobucket thing to link to a picture so that it will show up in a post on this forum if you just find the picture that you want online somewhere. However if you want to put one of your own pictures up on this forum you'll have to upload it to photobucket (or some similar online photo hosting service).
